Chapter 281: Good Words
"The eyes are big, round, and bright," Liu Yan said with a gesture, telling Queen Cao what the new little nephew looks like: "The hair is also good, but it is dark." ”
Empress Cao smiled and nodded: "It's a good birth." ”
The nurse said that his appetite was good, and that one nurse was not enough for him to eat, so two people had to take turns to feed him. I also heard crying, very loud. ”
The second princess gave birth to a child, and Empress Cao rewarded things as usual, neither more nor less. It's nothing more than rulers, longevity locks, and inkstones. The custom here in the capital, give birth to a boy to send an inkstone, one is to hope that the child has a literary temperament, grow up to read and progress, and second, I don't know where to say, saying that the inkstone is an auspicious thing, not new, and to use better, as if to say that this inkstone stained with the sage's temperament is "heavy" enough, can suppress the child's life.
Regardless of whether this statement is reasonable or not, Queen Cao will always reward her according to the rules, and there is nothing out of the ordinary.
Empress Cao didn't ignore Liu Yu either, and asked her, "How are you doing these days?" Is the medicine okay? ”
Liu Yu used to look like she was ignoring in front of Queen Cao, and her answers were always perfunctory and slow, but now it's different, Queen Cao asked her, Liu Yu sat up straight, raised her head slightly, and replied very seriously: "It's much better than before." I ate more than I used to eat and my spirits were better than ever. Doctor Zhang recently prepared yam porridge, fish porridge, and assorted fruit vegetarian dishes, which tasted good. ”
"Well, you have to be well-recuperated."
Liu Yan's attention suddenly drifted: "What is a variety of fruits?" Is it tasty? ”
Liu Yu said with a smile: "It's very delicious, I heard Imperial Doctor Zhang say that according to each person's physique, in fact, the method of this dish is different." ”
The lunch they had in Yilan Palace, Liu Yu naturally ate her share.
Liu Yan was curious, so the palace people gave her a little bit of everything.
There's a dish of steamed eggs with cow's milk that tastes good - it turns out that medicinal food isn't all weird. This steamed egg dish is sweet and silky, soft and slippery and melts in your mouth.
Liu Yu also shared one of Liu Yan's dishes.
Beef broth.
Liu Yan hesitated a little: "Can you eat this?" ”
Liu Yu said: "Imperial Doctor Zhang said, don't eat much, just don't be greasy. ”
There is actually another sentence in Taiyi Zhang's original words. Eat what you want, don't hold back.
After all, Liu Yu has no appetite for a long time, and eating is more like a chore that she has to do. From time to time, I will not refrain from eating it, and the food will be heavy in the stomach like a stone falling there.
That's why Imperial Doctor Zhang said, if you want to eat, eat some. For Liu Yu, having an appetite is a good thing.
The palace people served Liu Yu half a bowl of soup, and there were two slices of tender cabbage and two slices of boiled beef.
There is not much soup, and you can drink it in two or three sips. The cabbage is sweet and crispy, the beef is cooked just right, and the meat is not firewood at all.
Liu Yu didn't dare to eat more after drinking this half bowl of soup, but fortunately, she didn't feel any discomfort until she withdrew for lunch, and it seemed that the soup was not harmful.
Liu Yan's appetite is much better than her, there is no time when she eats three hundred and sixty days a year, the beef soup just now, she soaked the rice directly, the rice that was originally paid tribute was steamed out and was extraordinarily fragrant and glutinous, no vegetables, she could eat a big bowl of rice alone, and soaked it in beef soup, it was called a delicious!
Her appearance is enviable.
Empress Cao asked her to fetch two brocade boxes and gave them one for each of them.
"It's the newly made pearl powder and rose rouge cream in the palace, you can take it and play with it."
Liu Yan didn't care about these little things, anyway, she didn't like them in the first place, her face was covered with fat powder from the left and right layers, and she was panicked.
In the past, Guiyuan and the others had to help her dye her nails, but Liu Yan dyed it once and never did it again, heavy, heavy and stuffy, after dyeing these, her fingers seemed to be inflexible, and she would be distracted when she wrote.
"Queen Mother, if the father is free, give the name of the little nephew," Liu Yan whispered to Queen Cao: "The people outside speak ugly, anyway, this name is the same in the morning and evening." ”
Empress Cao touched her face: "Okay, I know." ”
Liu Yu returned to Lu Jingxuan, and this was the time to rest.
Feeling in the middle of a break may be a comfortable thing for others, but it is not easy for Liu Yu now. It is not easy for her to fall asleep, but Imperial Doctor Zhang said that even if she can't sleep, it is good to close her eyes and recuperate for a quarter of an hour, lie there and don't think about anything, how comfortable she is, she can recite a scripture silently if she is really uneasy, or count.
Keqing served Liu Yu to sleep, put down the tent, and stayed by the couch to do needlework.
There was also a palm-wide gap in the tent, and Liu Yu was completely relieved.
Ke Qing heard the fifth princess laugh.
"What does the princess command?"
"No," Liu Yu's eyes didn't open, and his voice was very soft: "The fourth sister's conduct, I really can't compare." ”
"What did the princess say about this?"
"Today in Yilan Palace, she said good things for the second princess and the child."
If you have a good relationship with the second prince and his wife, it is not surprising to do so. It would not be surprising if someone entrusted her with this and did it for good.
But the second prince and his wife are good all the way, and they are not liked at all. Liu Yan interceded for the child, and no one gave her the benefit of a penny.
Ke Qing didn't go out of the palace today, and when she heard the fifth princess say this, Ke Qing thought for a while: "Is that doll painful?" ”
"Well, it's pretty painful." White and fat, but Liu Yu didn't like him. I only know how to eat and sleep, but other than that, I will only cry, and my voice is still loud, and the crying is so ugly that her head hurts.
"Anyway, if I were replaced, I wouldn't intercede for him."
Ke Qing smiled: "The princess is different from the fourth princess, the fourth princess has always said something, the princess is in a more difficult situation than her, of course she is more cautious than her, but the princess's heart is good, this slave knows." ”
Liu Yu snorted: "What do you know." ”
Coincidentally, at this time, in the Yilan Palace, Yingluo was also talking to Queen Cao about this.
"If you want to say that the heart of our four princesses is not said, the slave maid heard that the Ma family asked people everywhere to intercede for the mother and son of the second princess, and sent gold and silver, and the beauties of the house were sent, and no one was willing to take care of their family's affairs, and they were afraid that they would not be able to hide, so the four princesses were honest, and others did not dare to say it, so she said it. She said that it was not for any benefit, but purely because of her closest relatives, and she couldn't bear to see the child being wronged and frustrated. ”
Empress Cao was lying on her side, her eyes closed, but she hadn't fallen asleep yet.
"She is this kind of character, she never thinks about the gains and losses before doing things, she does it if she wants to do it, it's not good, she is always so solid, and I'm afraid she will suffer in the future."
